Random House has joined forces with Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner to launch a new publishing imprint in 2017. LENNY will be a home for exciting, emerging voices–in fiction and non-fiction–that Lena and Jenni Konner are already attracting and publishing successfully in their newsletter and popular website.

"While we love our home on the Internet, Jenni and I are both voracious readers (of books and book reviews) who are constantly trading titles and allowing them to stir us creatively. Our friendship often doubles as a book club. Lenny books will aspire to push the ball forward on the issues that matter to our audience, with wit and style. We hope to see them sticking out of purses and riding public transportation everywhere."

Michelle Obama's legacy transcends categorization. Mrs. Obama was not only our first black first lady; she was President Obama's equal partner in marriage and parenthood and a tireless advocate for women's rights, education, healthy eating, and exercise. As well, her genre-busting personal style encouraged others to speak, to engage, even to dress as they wished. In an extension of his popular T: The New York Times Style Magazine feature, Nick Haramis has assembled nineteen essays from prizewinning writers, Hollywood stars, and political leaders—all of whom have been moved and influenced by Mrs. Obama's extraordinary grace in power.
